At our Studio we only have 2 Pottery Wheels, so dates can be booked on request for our 4-week Course, ideally at the same consecutive times each week. We are very flexible with dates, so get in touch on hello@firenest.co.uk to book this Course. We do also have dates available which you can directly book onto here on our website too.
Don't worry if you are new to pottery – we will provide step-by-step instructions and support to help you unleash your creativity. Get ready to immerse yourself in a hands-on activity that is both relaxing and rewarding. You'll be amazed at how quickly you progress and the sense of accomplishment you'll feel as you create your own unique pieces.
Throughout the course, you will be taught how to make your own bowls, pots, mugs, and vases. On the 4th and final session of the course, you will receive all your pottery wheel creations back which have been fired in the Kiln ready for you to glaze with our range of glazes.
All your items will then go back in the Kiln after being glazed for a Glaze Firing, with all your pieces being ready for collection around 6-8 weeks later.
A few things to know before your sessions: Please come prepared for a hands-on, messy experience! We recommend removing rings, bracelets, and other jewellery before each session, as clay can get into settings and be difficult to clean. Long or acrylic nails can also make wheel throwing tricky, so please bear this in mind when booking. Wear clothes you don't mind getting dirty — clay has a way of going everywhere! 😊
Before You Book - Please Read: We're a small, independent pottery studio. We pour our hearts into every class and work hard to deliver beautiful results.
Lead times: Ceramic pieces take approximately 6-8 weeks to fire - these are estimates and often take longer. We cannot speed this up or provide daily updates.
Refund policy: We do not provide refunds for completed workshops or firing outcomes. High-temperature firing is unpredictable by nature.
What we ask: Please read and accept our full Terms & Conditions before booking. Respect our team's time and efforts.
